Put in cagewash, being sent feeding components. Notice they are coming out crooked and almost getting caught in machine so ask to send less and report to super.

Manager being idiot he is demands proof and wants to see, they send usual amount again and it gets caught stopping the machine.

They were working on construction for months to fix up our cagewash(made it worse btw) and then rushed to fix up some animal rooms to fit these new huge specialized racks for animals. Main thing did was increase the height of the door frame on the rooms to fit these racks.
